As a father of four this was awesome to see the whole crew come out with you to see the buck!! Great deer!! Happy I found your channel tonight brother! Happy new year to you and yours!
@@UnlimitedWhitetailHunting They are fun and challenging around here. Lucky to get a shot at any legal buck in my area. I hunt public land so it's extra hard.
That's a nice buck!, I've most my life but six years ago I retired from hunting other than coyotes!. I've spent the last couple of years giving the herd good areas on our place to eat good and the people around us have wiped all the bucks out but one!, so nobody has gotten him and hes bred good the last 2 years. Hoping he gets his Gene's passed around. We asked the neighbors on both sides of us to just take the older bucks and let the young nice bucks breed and will see what happens!. Both our neighbors are city slickers and just dont get it!. None of them seen anything all last week during gun season!, we have 300 acres between the three of us and only one big buck hes been busy servicing the does but rut is winding down he came up yesterday to eat some corn and didnt pay any attention to the 12 does hanging around waiting to eat!. Great video!.
One of the things we started doing is sharing pictures and videos with the neighbors of all the nice bucks. If they see the nice ones, they are more likely to pass on the smaller ones. Of course, you have to have a nice ones for that to work.
We love WiseEyes!! Switched everything to them for cell cams. In fact we are a dealer now and sell them on our website. I made 1 facebook post and sold all my used Tactacams in about 5-10 minutes. 🤣 We are running 13 WiseEyes now between Ohio and WV. What do you guys use?
"He's a 4-1/2-year-old buck" "We've been watching him for 3 years since he was 2-1/2 years old". That would make him a 5-1/2-year-old buck. lol. Not knocking you, just picking on you, I know how the nerves can get you all twisted up after taking gown a nice buck. Congrats.
if any hunter sees a lone deer it’s most likely a button buck because young fawn and young does would be with other deer. wow, congrats to you sir on a beautiful buck of a life time
Congratulations on a beautiful and unique buck! God sure blesses us with his creation and it's a honor to be able to hunt some of them. I also shot my biggest buck opening day of rifle season in West Virginia and got my doe all within a 2 hours I was tagged out by 8:35 am didn't have time to hunt Ohio really so hoping for a nice Muzzleloader season. The 350 legend is a tack driver for me also that's my main rifle for all hunting now light recoil and good accuracy for 200 yards for me. It's great to see your family out there having fun and freezing together haha but again congrats on a beautiful harvest and may the Lord God bless you and your family.
That is a real brute, way to go. Did it end up officially as a 10 or 12? The possible g4s were small and close. Not that it matters, either way it's a real brute, well done.
Great Buck and congratulations ! I personally do not agree with baiting but legal is legal . With that leg he most likely would have not made it through the winter so it was a hunt that was a win , win for you and the deer . You got the Trophy instead of the coyotes eventually getting him !
What ammo are you using in that 350? I have the same gun but hesitant to use it deer hunting until I can find a round that I am confident in. I've seen way too many mixed reviews and poor results from assorted 350 bullets.
he is definitely a great buck but you can also tell if he had an extra year or 2 he would've been insane. probably about 3 or 4. Thats always a hard choice in the moment. if you see a huge buck with skinnier bases on the main beams like this one you can tell he is still younger than deer with really tick bases. Its hard to pass them up but they also turn into record breakers. Don't get me wrong I am shooting him if he walks out but its also nice to see them turn into pigs lol. if he made it to 6 or 7 he would be the most majestic creature on the planet. still though awesome buck and I am pumped for you! hoping to get the same situation in bow and gun season this year. Course this is coming from somebody who lives in a state and county that has several of the literal world records. So my view could be skewed lol
Very nice job buddy! Good shot on him. I take frontal shots all the time with my 30-06 or 30-30 or 308 win. Lol you could say I'm a 30 call finatic! Best all around round for deer anywhere in North America. What is this 350 legend? Looks like something I may be interested in aquiering!!! I have alot of different guns from 22 to all the 30 cals to 7mm to 270. About every round you can think of but not a 350. Let me know please. I will look it up and do research
It’s a new straight wall cartridge that are required for rifle hunting in a few Midwestern states. Watch this video…. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KcP78C5bfKw.html
@@UnlimitedWhitetailHunting I disagree with the last statement. We hunt deer in NY without bait and we harvest lots of good size does and bucks. The deer will still come even if there isn't bait, you just gotta know where to find them or catch them in their travels. Like I said, to each their own but I don't agree with the statement "just stay home" without bait
@@Nick-tz2vl I meant if all the neighbors bait and you don’t. If nobody does… sure it evens the playing field. Like in your case. But in our case of our neighbors all put out corn piles and we don’t, we won’t see any deer unless we have other food sources. We lease our property and it’s 95% wooded so we can’t clear it to put in foodplots. We have to work with what we got. We have to put out feed in order to have any food on the property after October. (Other than woody twigs) By the way… we don’t just “bait” the deer in season. We feed them all winter into spring until green up. Also not just pure corn. We mix in Boonetown Deer Mineral as well, which is a feed supplement. It’s not just about baiting and shooting. We are also trying to provide good quality food year round (we feed Boonetown all summer) keep the herd healthy, and grow the bucks big. Im 99% certain that “Donkey” buck would not have survived the winter last winter if not for supplemental feeding. Ours and probably the neighbors.
Today at 1630 I shot number 9 with my Winchester XPR .350 Legend. The deer was a 130 pound doe. The bullet was my handload with a Hornady 165 gr at 2,250 fps. The shot was a bit under 100 yards quartering to me. I hit just behind the right shoulder and the bullet was in the pelvis,one lung destroyed, liver in 3 pieces, and the deer went 20 yards. Yes, the .350 Legend will kill.
I wonder if your shot went just a bit high , laying your rifle on a hard surface makes the muzzle jump from excessive recoil jumping up through the stock . Beautiful buck , one for the wall , I'm sure ... !
Nice buck. I’m SO glad my state hasn’t legalized hunting over bait or food plots. To each his own and I reckon I’m considered a “dinosaur” cuz I have a strict definition of “hunting” versus “harvesting”. A 49 yr old old-fashioned, old-fogey that refuses to hunt with high tech scopes that range and targets FOR you or hunt in a cabin/condo on stilts overlooking bait or planted food plots. To me that’s culling, not hunting. I will say “nice buck” but never “congratulations” on a culled bruiser. Don’t get me wrong, I live in the farms lands of Tennessee and happily participate in culling to fill my freezer and help keep the deer levels down or remove nuisance animals. But that’s “culling”, not hunting. Two totally different activities that some states have allowed to merge. I’m prob gonna be bashed by younger “hunters” for my opinion but I’ve just gotta put that out there. I was raised by my Cree/Blackfoot Grandfather and he taught me a completely different standard and set of hunting morals that seem to have disappeared. Except by few. In particular a little young lady I found on RU-vid that films herself hunting public land and no baited or planted private land! Anyhow, that’s my 2 cents, and about all it’s worth I guess, but again, nice buck.
Thanks for watching and leaving the comment. We enjoy the chase and the challenge of getting these older age class “cull bucks” within range. Or even laying eyes on one. It’s much harder than you think. Even with supplemental feed or foodplots. We don’t believe in purposely making it harder than it already is like the “real hunters” do. 🙄
@@UnlimitedWhitetailHunting like I said, to each his own. It’s America and we’re all free Men. If it’s legal, go for it. What’s normal in one place isn’t somewhere else and I wasn’t trying to have a Dick measuring contest. Just post my opinion in the least insulting way. We catch our own grief and insults when we cull deer. But it’s legal and NECESSARY. Also fun and great target practice. Here in south middle TN farm country EVERY farm will have “blinds” on all sides of the crop fields. We call em cull boxes. I’ve seen and have pictures of herds 50-70 head! Looks like the damn plains of Africa! That’s why we have a bag limit of 3 a day also. You have to have or know a farmer to participate in culling and there is a lot of jealousy. It’s my understanding that public land can get pretty crowded and some landowners are pretty stingy with permission. So poaching can be a problem. I’ve got 40 acres of pasture and hardwoods and hunting agreements with 3 connecting neighbors. So a total of 220 wooded acres to hunt. Sometimes I seem to be chasing more poachers than deer tho. There seem to be folks from other places or the city that think it ok to just stop, hop a fence and hunt cuz it’s farmland. I got off topic there but I was just trying to point out that most of the “hunting” videos I click on turn out to be what I know as culling here. Nobody is in their boxes during season unless they are teaching a new hunter or taking a wife, girlfriend or maybe a guest or relative out and want to make sure they get one. So we have no problem with it, we just consider it 2 different things. That was a nice buck. It was lame and needed to be culled. Baiting it in to get him was the right thing to do. But it was a lame buck, over bait from a box, that’s culling. Too many call it hunting and think they should be corrected. It’s not an insult. At least not meant as an insult but everyone seem to have thin skin and soft feelings nowadays. If your comment isn’t gushing over them they get butt hurt and attack you and then all their subs join in. Or even delete your comment. Sorry, but did all that make sense!
@@GenX-Grampa it makes sense. I mean I see your perspective. But in most parts of the country culling is considered taking bad genes out of the herd. Like bucks with small antlers that’ll most likely never amount to anything. Your view of culling is the first time I’ve heard of culling as the hunting method. You are welcome to call it whatever you want, but here in Ohio I’d say 90% of the hunters I know use corn and blinds as their primary method of killing deer. Also treestands of course. But nobody hardly has enough acreage to do spot and stalk properly. There’s also plenty of pretty nice bucks shot over corn piles every year.
some people need to learn how to shoot I was just watching your other video n seen another doe with no back leg n now a big buck with a missed up leg I know it's not use the neighbors need to spend some more time at the range
@@UnlimitedWhitetailHunting yeah I can't say anything i lost a big doe shot with a H&R rifle 270. Winchester XP ammo an I shoot that ammunition out of my 6.5 creedmoor never had that problem losing them with that
@@jimstaub2308 it’s legal in our state, it’s just another tool to hunt deer with and most everybody that comments like this is jealous they can’t do it.
Glad you got him but geez. “You hit this buck in the shoulder in early season and he hasn’t used his leg since.” So let’s proceed to take a low percentage frontal shot on a deer you’ve already wounded instead of waiting 10 seconds for him to move and change angle so you can hit heart and both lungs (or 1 minute for him to stroll over to the “concentrated food plot”)
Pretty sure he never said he hit the buck in early season, just that he had been hit, which is why they were targeting him. And sure, he could have waited for a better broadside shot but those neck shots are lethal I have found, plus he went down in his tracks on the spot and didn't move. It's too easy to assume and judge others, especially through a screen. Congrats on your buck, he's a dandy!
@@jademayer4995 thanks!! a neighbor about half a mile away is the one that wounded him. And yes, I would not have taken that shot with a bow. But with a gun, different story. I know what the 350 legend can do.
@@UnlimitedWhitetailHunting Heck ya, those pack a punch! And like I said, I have found that a good neck shot more often than not takes care of business. He was a wide one to! You more than likely did him a favor, saved him from being dogged by Coyote's and other predators until he just couldn't fend for himself. Great buck!! Looks like you got yourself quite the spot with all those bucks running around, can't even get into camp without taggin one with a car!😄
@@jademayer4995 it was the cold front that got them moving. That Boomer buck was fine. An hour later we had pictures of him in our Foodplot. He was a mid-150’s 12 pointer before he broke off 4 tines. Now he gets to live another year. As long as he doesn’t get shot.
Thanks for the comment. Appreciate you watching. We can agree to disagree. Mature deer are still extremely smart regardless of methods and strategies. We promote any and all legal methods.
I gues it is easy to say and kill a big buck when you can hunt on your own land and fence animals. Try to go out and hunt where no man's land and see if that easy and simple like this.
@@adrianstutzman what I am trying to say was that it's more challenging to hurt on a land that you have to find a big buck like that rather than hunting on a land that you knew there already had a big buck there waiting for you.
@@UnlimitedWhitetailHunting Yeah, I have noticed that! I wish I’d have time to put out more videos rn but I’m trying to prioritize my wedding film company over YT. I have 2 YT hunting episodes just waiting to be produced. 🥸 And yes, I do enjoy diving into comments and defending what a lot of people don’t seem to understand about Ohio hunting.
